Snow, Thanksgiving, Aerial Views, and Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Cold

Snow at the house next door: I love how a blizzard gets creative with drifting snow. Check out the roofline — how does that even happen?

Snowbound basketball goal: a view out the window at MCI, the Kansas City airport. I have to wonder who plays basketball there (and why they aren’t loading our bags or putting more snacks on our plane – isn’t it all about us…?)

You’d recognize me on any flight. I’m the one in the window seat, monopolizing the view. Especially if there’s a smokestack with the light behind it.

Lol at the why they weren’t loading more snacks in the plane. Speaking of that, I heard potato chips are the most popular, sought after snacks on planes. I’ve never been snowed in and actually have never seen snow. I like the warmth and heat and try to be where that is 🙂

Potato chips! (I may have to move to Australia) I haven’t had potato chips from our airlines. It’s mainly pretzels, peanuts, or Biskoff cookies. On snow: there are good parts about snow days (besides getting off school and going sledding) — there’s extra down-time to catch up on reading and writing and comfy things with no guilt about shirking other chores. And then, when the warmth and heat come, they are SO appreciated.

The last time I was served potato chips on a plane was on a flight from Australia to Asia. It was Lays potato chips that were onboard 🙂 The flight attendants weren’t handing it out to every single passenger. Rather if you knew (or went to the toilet, passed the tiny kitchen, see the pile of potato chips lined up), you’d ask…

We’re finally into summer here in Australia and I am SO appreciative of the warmth 🙂

All the long hot summer I looked forward to cooler weather… now that it’s “winter”, or what passes for it in Atlanta, I’m especially appreciating cooler nights. But winter does make for travel issues. (I admit I’m hoping for a not-white Christmas). May you enjoy your summer, and be ready for a little cooling off by the time summer and winter change hemispheres. And, Happy New Year!

Ouch – this reminds me why I am so happy to no longer be living in Chicago! I like snow … for a few days, as a visitor, and preferably under sunny skies. There are some pretty parts (like that fun roofline), but the aerial views of the ground half snowy, half gray/wet just depress me. Glad you got a little wintry feeling over Thanksgiving but hope you are staying warmer in GA! (I’ll get my dose over Christmas in PA!)

I thought I’d miss snow big-time when we had to move to Georgia years ago. Now I’m like you– it’s a fun thing to visit. This trip, Sam got to scoop snow for the first time, and bonus- even got to scatter the salt. I hope you have a good Christmas in PA, with or without snow, and without slippery drives to the airport.

From USA Today

On December 14 2012, I saw this headline at the news-stand. Yes, my name is Sandy, and I know the headline referred to Hurricane Sandy. Still, it made me think -- my trash could take years to haul away too. That’s when I knew I had to take more radical action to get through all the boxes of “stuff” that still litter my house and my life.

And then there's the art, tea and cake, the garden and music; in no particular order and with fun ... then there will be days when there is no order and or fun. Either way my day posts from the print room, the cafe or the bike (which incidentally is usually parked in the garden when not in use) will be tempered accordingly
